Confused about song keys and 2nd position key

i was looking thru the list of songs/ CD's on the site where it tells you what key the song is in, and played in, etc. and i am a little confused about something...

I read all the stuff about 2nd position, so i think i get that. (it is basically what part of the harp you are using.)

Where the songs are listed it says what key the song is in and then what key it is played in (in 2nd position) what i dont understand is this....
say it has the song key listed as "C" and the key it is played in as "F"(2nd position) , wich key of hramonica should you play it with? a harmonica in the key of "C" or "F"? (this was the case for Aerosmith's "amazing")

Way confused on this one. I mean does it mean you play it with a harp that is in the key of "C", but when playing it in 2nd position it becomes the key of "F"?

Or does it mean the song is in the key of "C". but the harp solos are in the key of "F" (and therfore you should use a harp in the key of "F")? ....wich doesnt really make sense to me, but i am (like i said) way confused.. lol

Any help much appreciated :)
